Most people do not take into account one of the points mentioned in the article -

"If we want our police to live where they work, we’re going to have to pay them well."

Many police departments require that their officers reside in the town that they work. This is a benefit to the community since the officers are then an integral part of the community that they are serving and protecting. People are more likely to be understood by a police officer when that officer resides in the same community as them.

Additionally, to everyone who believes that officers issuing speeding summonses are wasting their time, consider people driving in your neighborhoods above the posted speed limit. It wouldn't be long before residents began crying out about people driving 50mph on 25mph posted speed limits.
